ALG DEFENSE LAUKAISUKONEISTO - AK-47, ilman varmistinta

I purchased this trigger for my Arsenal SLR107-51, and for the first time in four AK pattern firearms encountered fitment issues immediately upon beginning the installation. In this case the disconnector stop rivet was rubbing on the body of the trigger, which is a possibility noted by the instructions, and while it is a little presumptuous of ALG to expect the user to modify a rifle to fit their trigger instead of the other way around, I did end up lightly filing the side of this rivet to permit the trigger - which I ultimately needed to file also - to rock freely per the instructions.



Once the trigger rocked freely, I installed the safety lever and noticed gross travel in the trigger when it was in the safe position - enter the fitment roll pin. I don't engineer triggers for a living, perhaps for good reason, but a pin that should sit at a fixed depth and only be able to enter or exit its channel from one end seems like an excellent use case for a taper pin. Instead, an oversized roll pin must be driven into a device with no apparent hope of being chocked firmly in a vise.



With the roll pin driven in and filed to fit, the trigger now rocked freely in the receiver and was held firm by the safety lever in the safe position as prescribed. Reassembling the fire control group (without the use of a slave pin or bore sleeve - not necessary but would have been a nice touch given Tapco can include one for $20 less), the final result was a good but certainly not remarkable trigger.



It is definitely a better trigger than the Tapco FCG - the travel is shorter, and the break is more definite, but the reset feels grimy, which could improve with time and cleaning but as of now is nothing special. While the inconvenience of this amount of fitment is forgivable given the variance in AK dimensions, the tolerances this trigger operate in - many of which are dependent on fitment by the end user - do not inspire confidence that this product will perform safely and remain as assembled as the device it is installed in (a black metal tube of explosions that sits in the sun for hours at a time) is used and experiences cycles of thermal expansion and contraction.



The bottom line: it is a better trigger than the Tapco, but not superior enough to justify the price premium, and definitely not superior enough to justify the excessive fitment. Feeling it side by side with the G2 in my SLR101s, there is no doubt I will save my time and money in the future and purchase Tapco triggers for any new AKs.

Purchased this for my saiga 12. Trigger isn't a drop in on this platform and was a bit more work than I expected to allow it to work. With that said its a big improvement over the tapco g2 I had before. Nice short pull and reset. I'm not the biggest fan of the "bow" shape but getting more used to it. NOTE: don't purchase this for saigas unless your a gunsmith or know what your doing so it functions in a same manner.

This is by far the best AK trigger you can get. It is smoother, lighter and has a shorter travel than any of my polished reprofiled tapco g2's. Don't pay any attention to the one guy that says it does not fit His I.O AK and his mini m92. First off the fact that he owns an I.O tells you all you need to know. As far as an m92, they come with a full auto safety selector. Either use the pin in the trigger kit or modify the stock safety selector to make a semi auto selector or get a semi auto selector. The krebs selector is a semi auto and thats what I use on all of my aks. Nothing wrong with the trigger other than user error.

Good trigger at a fair price. Dropped right in my arsenal sagia, had to use the safety pin though and took more than a few passes of the file, I got out the grinder. Got it first try but they give you an extra pin if you mess up. Extra-fast reset, pull is a bit light for my tastes in a battle rifle. They say you can adjust pull weight by bending the main spring, but they included a small optional accessory spring retaining the trigger that supplements the pull by about a pound without any bending, which put it where I like it more (was getting doubles sometimes without it). Not a world of difference than the G2, but I like the shape and quicker reset. Would recommend a pin retaining plate to ease installation and get rid of that sheperds crook. Have fun!

Like other review stated itson par with tapco. I already have a red star arms/ grand masters adjustable trigger in my saiga 12 and another in my PSL. IDK if anything can beat those, Especially for the price. Polished the sear surfaces and breaks at three pounds even. Very smooth pull. I have the cheaper alg on my AR and I like it a lot. But this wasnt up to par. Btw the red star triggers require fitting as well. Don't expect to get around it from what I've seen.

overall the trigger group went in to my wasr great and functions flawlessly. PITA to install. very short take up and re-set but still has an indistinct break like a tapco or other ak trigger. you don't really know when the gun will go off. 2lb trigger pull is awesome though. needs a SMALL notch milled in hammer to let the shooter know shot is about to break and itd be perfect. I am also getting some trigger slap I didn't get with tapco. o well, good enough for 1.5 groups at 100yds with WOLF. im happy.

Have two of these: one on a home-built Bulgarian AK 74 (1mm receiver) and one on a VEPR "Slant Back" in 7.62x39.with a 1-1/2 mm RPK-style receiver. Fitting was minimal - both rifles required installation of the roll pin and minor filing of that pin to get the correct clearance for the safety. That's it. No big deal.



I like this trigger so well that I'm in the process of buying my third one, so that all of the AK's in my collection are fitted with AKT's.

Did not fit my Arsenal AKs, I.O. AK, or Mini Draco 92 Pap. Trigger needs to filled down to allow bolt carrier to properly pass over trigger assembly and I was not going to hand file and refinish this trigger. Do ALOT of research online before buying this kit and attempting to install it in your AK. ALG was nil on support and all they could answer is that it fits "most" AKs. Not recommended. Get Tapco has about the same fit, finish and feel. Don't buy the hype of their "curved" trigger face. I own quite a few ALG products including their 6 second Glock mount and this is not on the same level of quality that ALG is know for.

Finally a real upgrade to your AK trigger. Light pull and a real crisp reliable break. Best AK trigger I have ever used. Watch the install video (28 min) and make sure that your safety functions properly. This is a must upgrade to any AK.
